A great local credit union
Back when I used to live in California, they had a branch out in Barstow, CA. It was an extremely big building and welcoming. It was also very professional looking, though they had more tellers than necessary at most times. The staff would always greet you with a smile and if you had an issue with filling out paperwork they were happy to help or send me to the appropriate department. I wasn't sure what the tellers were capable of since I was young, but they're very nice to those new to banking. The interest rates for just about anything beat the major banks out there. The one thing they were a decade behind on was an online presence. It looks like they've improved upon that since I was last with them. Their branch is only available in California, but I strongly recommend them. If they are not available to you, they recommended us to fairwinds when we moved and their services are equal. That includes fees for things like an inactive debit card, not meeting your monthly minimum deposit, etc. Either way, it's a good place.
Guantanamo Bay Banking
San Marcos, CA
8/14/2010 As of 2009, Gitmo Bay banking run by military jarheads who have issues with civilians. Enter, wait at least 15 min. even if 5 staff are not helping any other person. Must remove all headgear. Must remove sunglasses, you terrorist suspects. Present preprinted deposit slip supplicating to make deposit. Repeat name. Repeat address. Repeat telephone number, all verbally to teller. This "proves" your identity, or that identity thieves can READ. These are on the bank's own slip already yet. Say that you have not changed your address, verbally, from that of the slip. Ditto. Provide password. ONLY THEN can you potential terrorists/thieves present cash or checks as inbound tickets. Every other bank in America, anyone can DEPOSIT to anyone's account, of themselves or others, by giving pre-existing account # and name--nothing is leaving the institution, after all. It does not take half an hour and interrogation. I shudder to think about attempting a withdrawal, an armed marine would probably have to supervise your every step.
